2.5.2 Hub brakes
Besides the functions provided by manual brakes, the hub
brakes provide the slow down (for example, on a slope) and
improved safety because they are still efficient when you have
a flat tyre !
Two versions are available: (photos 24 and 25) attendant
control and dual control (attendant and user).
To slow down, gradually pull the lever (A) upwards.
To lock the brake in parking position, with the lever (A)
tightened, push the lock (B) to engage it in the notches of the
brake handle ; then pull the lock up to unlock.
To adjust braking : turn the screw (C) counterclockwise to
increase braking force and turn clockwise to reduce it.
The specific adjustments of hub brakes must always be
performed by your Dealer.
!
Always operate the two brakes simultaneously and do
not take slopes exceeding 5% to ensure perfect control of the
wheelchair steering !
